Jedis 8.0.0 completes the client class consolidation started in 7.0.0, modernizes protocol defaults, tightens security defaults, and adds command coverage for Redis 8.8 and the Redis 8.10 preview.

RESP3 auto-negotiation on by default for all UnifiedJedis-based clients (with graceful RESP2 fallback)
Final removal of legacy JedisPooled / JedisSentineled classes in favor of the RedisClient family introduced in 7.0.0
Removal of deprecated UnifiedJedis public constructors
Internal refactoring that affects users of low-level extension points (custom CommandExecutor, Transaction subclasses, ClusterPipeline, CommandObjects) — protocol and connection wiring is now explicit at construction time
Search modernization — the low-level cursor APIs are superseded by ftAggregateIterator(), and the manual broadcast API is removed (Redis 8.0+ broadcasts FT.CREATE server-side)
TLS hostname verification enforced by default in DefaultJedisSocketFactory
New Redis 8.8 command coverage — XNACK, JSON.SET FPHA, Array commands, INCREX, COUNT aggregator on ZINTER / ZUNION(STORE) and their *STORE variants, multi-aggregator TS.RANGE / TS.MRANGE, plus an experimental COLLECT parameter for FT.AGGREGATE
Redis 8.10 command coverage — HIMPORT (Hinted Hash Templates), FT.ALIASLIST, MAXCOUNT / MAXSIZE on XREAD and XREADGROUP, SUNIONCARD / SDIFFCARD, LMOVEM / BLMOVEM, TS.READ, TS.NRANGE / TS.NREVRANGE, TS.QUERYLABELS, and EXCLUDEEMPTY on TS.MRANGE / TS.MREVRANGE
